Clearly, no one could repeatedly enter the same location like Li Fan.
However, there was a Golden Core cultivator who was quite pleased with himself and boasted about his experiences.
Once, he appeared in the Fallen Immortal Realm and occupied the body of a young man.
This young man’s family had been exterminated in childhood.
The entire family met a tragic end, and only the young man escaped.
While struggling for survival, the young man investigated the mastermind behind the extermination.
By a stroke of luck, the young man witnessed two cultivators fighting to the death in the mountains one day, ultimately perishing together.
From the corpses of these two cultivators, the young man found some elixirs and two cultivation techniques.
Eventually, he embarked on the path of cultivation.
Just as he achieved success in cultivation, reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and found clues to the extermination case, he was coincidentally occupied by this Golden Core cultivator.
Following the clues, the Golden Core cultivator successfully found the murderer within a limited time of a dozen days.
He, too, massacred the murderer’s entire family in revenge.
After leaving the Fallen Immortal Realm, the Golden Core cultivator successfully brought back a cultivation technique.
He sold it for a good price of thirty thousand contribution points.
After hearing the story, everyone couldn’t help but feel envious, praising his good luck.
“So, I believe that one possible way to bring items out is through exchange.”
“If I wanted this young man to give me the cultivation technique, I needed to help him fulfill his long-cherished wish.”
“His wish is to avenge his family’s deaths, and I’ve accomplished that. In exchange, he naturally is willing to give me the cultivation technique.”
This Golden Core cultivator named Ji Xingwen spoke confidently.
Li Fan and the others listened with thoughtful expressions.
Having obtained the desired information, Li Fan recorded the appearance of the prize-winning fish and hurriedly returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
He accelerated his cultivation in the Tianxuan Mirror while waiting.
After more than ten days, Li Fan sensed that he could once again enter the Fallen Immortal Realm.
He immediately performed the ritual.
Unsurprisingly, he still possessed the body of Purple Heaven Sect’s Li Chen, just like the previous two times.
Li Fan followed the same procedure as before.
“Junior brother, wait here. I’ll be right back!” Zhang Qianmo’s words were not finished before he had already gone far away.
This time, Li Fan chose another person to soul-search.
The second use of the Purple Heaven Soul Observation Technique was more skillful than the first.
However, it still consumed a lot.
He carefully examined the past experiences of this person but found nothing special.
His encounters were quite similar to Liu Tu, as he was just an ordinary mortal.
By chance, he came across someone spreading the new law of cultivation, and after stepping onto the path to immortality, he joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
However, in his memory, the one who taught the new law for mortals was not the enthusiastic young man who reached Golden Core in ten years.
Instead, it was a stunningly beautiful woman in wight.
This woman’s cultivation speed was even more astonishing.
It was said that she achieved the Nascent Soul realm and became a True Lord in just twenty years.
“It seems that there are quite a few cultivators who personally witnessed the Immortal Ancestor teaching the law and later helped spread the new law.”
Li Fan casually tossed the cultivator, whose soul had been thoroughly searched, onto the ground like a puddle of mud and looked towards the center of Ningyuan City.
Some time had passed, but the conflict had not yet erupted.
After a long time, Li Fan saw that Zhang Qianmo had come out of the Drunken Immortal Tower and was heading slowly towards the Tree of Everlasting Life.
Li Fan also noticed that outside the Drunken Immortal Tower, Zhang Qianmo had clearly set up a barrier.
He was afraid that the upcoming battle with Song Hesong would affect his old flame Chixia.
“It seems that this Senior Brother Zhang is quite sentimental.”
“Perhaps, to bring back the Purple Heaven Soul Observation Technique, I can start from this aspect.”
Li Fan’s eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.
“Boom!”
A purple thunderbolt as thick as a bucket suddenly descended from the sky.
Song Hesong’s miserable scream immediately spread throughout Ningyuan City.
Li Fan saw that the Life Transformation Grand Formation within the city rapidly operated, extracting strands of green vitality from the mortals towards the direction of the fight.
“Zhang Qianmo, although you are an inner disciple, you are only at the Foundation Establishment stage! Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
Song Hesong’s voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the city.
A blood-colored bell instantly enveloped Zhang Qianmo.
Then, Li Fan saw Song Hesong casually clap his hands, and countless buildings turned into ruins.
The mortals inside the buildings shivered in fear. Before they could scream, they perished.
From the corpses of the mortals, a large mass of almost substantial blood-colored energy surged into the sky, rushing towards Song Hesong.
In the blood light, the faces of the just-deceased mortals appeared.
Countless faces rushed towards Zhang Qianmo, trapped inside the bell.
After a moment, Senior Brother Zhang fell into a state of stunned stillness.
“This Sentient Soul Refinement Formation is indeed extraordinary. Although Zhang Qianmo took the initiative this time, he is still trapped by the formation.”
After a long time, Li Fan finally saw Zhang Qianmo coming out of the Drunken Immortal Tower with satisfaction, slowly walking towards the Direction of the Tree of Everlasting Life.
Li Fan also noticed that outside the Drunken Immortal Tower, Zhang Qianmo had obviously set up a barrier.
It was probably because he was worried that the upcoming battle with Song Hesong would affect his old lover Chixia.
“It seems that Senior Brother Zhang is indeed a sentimental person.”
“Perhaps, if I want to bring back the Purple Heaven Soul Observation Technique, I can start from this aspect.”
Li Fan’s eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.
“Boom!”
A thunderous sound echoed as a thick purple thunderbolt suddenly descended from the sky.
Song Hesong’s screams instantly spread throughout the entire Ningyuan City.
Li Fan saw that the Life Transformation Grand Formation within the city operated rapidly, extracting strands of green vitality from the mortals and flying towards the direction where the two were fighting.
“Zhang Qianmo, although you are an inner disciple, you are only at the Golden Core stage! Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
Song Hesong’s voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the city.
A blood-colored bell instantly enveloped Zhang Qianmo.
Then, Li Fan saw Song Hesong casually clap his hands, and countless buildings turned into ruins.
The mortals inside the buildings shivered in fear, perishing before they could even scream.
From the corpses of the mortals, a large group of almost substantial blood-colored aura surged into the sky, rushing towards Song Hesong.
In the blood light, the faces of the just-deceased mortals appeared.
Countless faces rushed towards Zhang Qianmo, trapped inside the bell.
After a moment, Senior Brother Zhang fell into a state of stunned stillness.
“This Sentient Soul Refinement Formation is indeed extraordinary. Although Zhang Qianmo took the initiative this time, he is still trapped by the formation.”
“Unfortunately, it must mortal lives as a medium. It’s much less useful in the modern day.”
Li Fan silently watched Song Hesong ruthlessly harvest the lives of mortals in the city, turning them into his means against the enemy.
Ningyuan City became a scene of devastation in an instant.
Countless mortals died under Song Hesong’s hands, but only the Drunken Immortal Tower protected by Senior Brother Zhang’s barrier and the place where Li Fan was currently located remained safe.
As the mortals in Ningyuan City continued to die, inside the Sentient Soul Refinement Formation, half of Zhang Qianmo’s head had already exploded.
However, he was still alive.
Song Hesong turned pale, just like before.
However, his fear was quickly suppressed by greed.
Red flames roasted Zhang Qianmo, revealing the purple core inside him.
Song Hesong finally noticed something was amiss.
He clapped his hands continuously, killing the remaining mortals in Ningyuan City and summoning blood-colored human faces to block the way while he retreated towards the rear.
He actually sensed something was wrong and fled.
Li Fan squinted his eyes and threw Li Chen’s spear towards the escaping Song Hesong.
At the same time, he activated the Purple Heaven Thundercalling Technique, a purple thunderbolt striking down towards Song Hesong.
The thunder hit him directly, freezing Song Hesong’s figure as the spear, carrying traces of purple lightning, was about to pierce him fiercely.
However, he was still a Golden Core cultivator. In a critical moment, he recovered from his stiffness.
He tightly gripped the spear.
A burst of lightning erupted from the long spear.
Song Hesong unconsciously loosened his grip, allowing the long spear to return to Li Fan’s hands.
Song Hesong, high above, glanced in the direction where Li Fan was.
Although Li Fan was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Song Hesong, as a Golden Core cultivator, didn’t even consider fighting back at this moment.
He just looked at Li Fan with resentment and was about to turn into blood light to escape again.
“Junior Brother, well done!”
The purple core glowed brightly as Zhang Qianmo’s physical body reappeared.
The radiance converged, forming into clothes.
With a step, he turned into purple thunder and intercepted the blood light.
Just like before, Zhang Qianmo strangled Song Hesong.
“Traitor of the sect, die!”
The Purple Heaven Lightning descended from the sky, announcing Song Hesong’s imminent demise.
A Golden Core cultivator died so easily in the hands of Zhang Qianmo.
As if he had casually slaughtered a chicken or dog, Zhang Qianmo’s face showed no emotional fluctuations.
Swiftly, he arrived beside Li Fan, suppressing his aura.
“The matter here is concluded, Junior Brother. Let’s return to the sect as soon as possible.”
“These few people will be taken along as evidence,” Zhang Qianmo pointed to the four Foundation Establishment cultivators who were previously captured.
As for the vast ruins and countless casualties in Ningyuan City, he completely ignored them.
Summoning the Purple Heaven Flying Cloud, he placed the captives on it and flew into the sky.
As they were about to leave, Li Fan suddenly knocked the captives unconscious and asked, “Senior Brother, how do you view this new law?”
Zhang Qianmo remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, “It’s an unorthodox method, and is not the authentic way!”
Li Fan chuckled, “Is that really what Senior Brother thinks?”
Pointing to the captives lying in various postures on the Purple Heaven Flying Cloud, Li Fan said with a deep tone, “Senior Brother, look at these people. Without even comparing them with you and me, even compared to those outer disciples and miscellaneous disciples in the sect, they are far inferior.”
“They’ve cultivated for far less time, but now they all have Foundation Establishment cultivation, just like us!”
Zhang Qianmo frowned, “Junior Brother, what are you trying to say?”
Li Fan didn’t answer directly but continued, “When those thousands of fellow disciples in the sect who don’t have true inheritance learn about the existence of this new law, will they still be willing to languish in the sect, doing trivial and insignificant tasks, just to be able to go further on the path of immortality?”
“Now, the path to immortality is wide open, but it does not begin at our Purple Heaven Sect.”
Li Fan pointed to the ruined Ningyuan City below, saying, “Today, in the battle between Senior Brother and Song Hesong, mortals suffered greatly, with countless deaths and injuries.”
“After all, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. The power of mortals is too weak. In the hands of us cultivators, they have no resistance at all.”
“But, does Senior Brother think they have no grievances at all?”
“Those surviving mortals, although as weak as ants, number in the billions.”
“If they know about the existence of the new law, how will they choose?”
“Senior Brother has great power, easily slaughtering four or five cultivators of the same level.”
“But if today, within Ningyuan City, one-tenth of the mortals are at the Foundation Establishment stage, would Senior Brother still dare to be so unrestrained?”
Zhang Qianmo remained silent.
Li Fan gazed intently, staring at Zhang Qianmo. “Senior Brother’s understanding far exceeds mine. Things that I can think through, Senior Brother must have already figured out long ago.”
“Junior Brother…” Zhang Qianmo was about to speak but was directly interrupted by Li Fan.
“The rise of the new technique is unstoppable. If you go with the flow, you prosper; if you resist, you perish. Don’t you think so, Senior Brother?” Li Fan pressed.
Although he also thought so in his heart, seeing his junior brother say it so bluntly, Zhang Qianmo’s face turned somewhat pale.
If it weren’t for the fact that this junior brother of his had never left the mountain since he entered the sect, Zhang Qianmo would almost think that he had already embraced the new law.
“Junior Brother, be careful with your words…” Zhang Qianmo spoke to dissuade him.
“This matter…”
“Let the elders of the sect make the decision.”
Li Fan smiled faintly, not wanting to discuss this topic further. Instead, he suddenly changed the subject, “Before, in the mountains, Senior Brother often sighed that Miss Chixia couldn’t cultivate due to lack of spiritual roots. That’s why she was unwilling to return to the sect with you.”
“Now that Senior Brother has learned about the new technique, I wonder if you have informed Miss Chixia about it?”
Zhang Qianmo, who was indifferent to killing enemies, surprisingly hesitated and looked embarrassed in the face of Li Fan’s questioning.
“Senior Brother, unlike us cultivators, mortals can’t enjoy eternal youth.”
“You should know that life ages and beauty fades.”
“How much time can mortals afford to waste?”
“Do you really have the heart to watch her age day by day and avoid any interaction with you?”
Li Fan’s words were like a barrage, relentlessly pressing Zhang Qianmo.
After a long time, as if going through intense mental struggles, Zhang Qianmo finally sighed deeply.
“Junior Brother, wait here. I’ll be back soon!”
Having said that, he flew towards the Drunken Immortal Tower below.
